1 Technical notes on version 2.1
5 ebl batch mode cleanup bscan-test is ok now.
6 kes Implement SD code to check length of disk volume before appending.
8 kes Correct return status on db_batch... routines.
9 kes Add call to db_write_batch_file_records() to migration code.
10 ebl Fix AfterJob timing
11 kes Move the checking of the database in initializion of the Director
12 to after we drop privileges. This avoids the need for both root
13 and bacula access to the DB.
14 kes Correct a misplaced variable definition in src/filed/backup.c
15 kes Correct how the new batch insert db_create_attributes_record()
16 uses the arguments. Caused a seg fault in bscan.
17 kes Implement lock() and unlock() methods in DEVICE class.
18 Implement block() and set_block(xx) methods in DEVICE class.
19 kes Modify bnet_connect() so that it uses time() to check for the
20 wait time expiring (on some OSes, some system calls may not
22 kes Modify Verify to obtain the previous JobId when it is actually
23 running rather than at schedule time (as it was in 1.38.x).
24 kes Fix src/job.c to handle MaxWaitTime correctly. This should
26 kes When checking pid in pid file, continue running if the pid is
27 the same as ours. This occurs on IRIX after a system crash.
30 kes Extend new GUI API.
31 kes Make the ua structure a class, and implement send_msg(),
32 error_msg(), warning_msg(), and info_msg().
34 kes Apply fix from for building wx-console on the Mac from
36 kes Implement new select mechanism for GUI programs.
37 kes Reorganize initialization of stackedWidgets in bat.
39 kes Add updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust.
41 kes More bat implementation.
42 kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
43 of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
44 kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
45 crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
46 kes Extend new GUI api code to tree commands.
47 kes Ensure that tree and dot commands check console ACLs.
48 kes Permit marking directory with trailing slash.
49 kes Allow 20 console connections (instead of only 10).
51 kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
54 kes Modify jobq.c to let simultaneous restore jobs run. This may
55 cause them to fail if they cannot get a drive.
56 kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
57 modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
59 kes Correct virtual changer check which was backwards. This caused
60 volumes to be unloaded into slots already occupied.
62 kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
63 kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
65 kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
66 kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
69 kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
71 ebl fix fifo stuff, bacula tries to rewind the fifo... Thanks to Andreas
73 kes Begin implementing new comm signals for API.
74 kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
76 kes Continue implementing lib/bsock.c (real class). Make jcr,
77 who, host, and port private. There are new methods to access
78 them for non-class use. This required touching a number of files.
80 kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
81 than English. Fixes bug #788.
83 ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob to old position as in 1.38.X.
85 You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
86 It will be fixed soon.
87 If you want to use this, you can apply
88 trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
90 kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
91 no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
92 set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
93 ebl finish RecyclePool feature
94 Media will takes Pool.RecyclePool
95 when moving from Scratch to a Pool or when user will do
96 update volume=xxx frompool
97 To use it, add RecyclePool = aPool to your Pool resource
100 RecyclePool = Scratch
104 kes Expand new BSOCK class adding signal() and new BNET signals.
105 kes Begin enhancing the dot commands adding a new API function
106 that returns more information and will make it easier
107 to interface to the Director from a program.
109 kes Make DEVICE fd private. Its new name is m_fd, and can be
110 obtained with dev->fd() outside the class. This is the
111 first of many DEVICE members to be made private.
112 kes Implement Michael Renner's idea on having a virtual disk
113 changer. I made some minor modifications (e.g. I did not
114 implement the Virtual Changer directive, but simply set
115 the Changer Command to an empty string.
117 kes Implement a BSOCK send() method that writes the whole record
118 in a single write() request rather than in two.
119 ebl add update volume=xxx recyclepool=yyyy
120 volume takes recyclepool from pool when using update volume=xxx from pool
122 kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
123 to be truncated. This fixes bug #763.
124 kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
125 kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
127 kes Apply Eric's ClientRunScriptAfter patch to 2.0 and 2.1.
128 ebl Use btime_t instead of uint64_t in media patch.
130 kes Optimize the use of the database a bit in the Status dir command.
131 Only open it when needed, ensure that if any previous database
132 was opened, it is closed.
134 kes Correct VolCatBytes bug from media patch.
135 kes Apply patch from bug #612 by Rudolf Cejka to speedup pruning
136 in the case of orphaned records.
137 kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
138 and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
139 idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
140 kes Apply Eric's scratch patch that moves a purged Volume to
141 the RecyclePool. Question: how is RecyclePool set? what
142 happens to the ScratchPool?
143 kes Apply Eric's media patch that collects read/write media
144 times as well as byte counts. This patch requires a
145 simultaneous upgrade of the DIR and SD. Note, there
146 should be some way to turn off timing. I'm not sure
147 times are in Bacula units.
148 kes Apply Eric's batch-insert patch.
150 kes Update projects list.
152 kes Implement Include/Exclude file lists in FD as dlists using
153 the new dlistString class. This permits efficiently having
154 large include/exclude lists and completes project Item 25.
155 kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
156 console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
158 kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
159 at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
160 fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
162 kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
163 so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
165 Switch to using Subversion
166 kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
168 kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
169 plus the entrypoints.
170 kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
171 in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
172 part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
174 kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
175 loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
177 kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
178 with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
179 ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
181 kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
182 problem is with read or append.
184 kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
185 kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
186 memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
187 kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
188 termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
189 (i.e. migration jobs).
190 kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
191 a memory leak problem.
192 kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
193 in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
194 to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
195 kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
196 rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
197 methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
198 (hides some of the ugly casting).
199 kes Add set_next() and set_prev() methods which make the code much more
200 readable. Also add a new dlistString class that facilitates storing
201 strings in dlists. To be used in the large include/exclude lists.
202 kes Make some trivial modifications to lib/tree.h that use rblist
203 rather than dlist for storing the tree links. This was suggested
204 by Rudolf Cejka. The result of this is that the restore tree now
205 uses red-black binary trees rather than simple linked lists. This
206 should give rather dramatic speed improvements for directories
207 contining large numbers of directories/files (more than 10000).
209 kes Fix maxruntime bug #621.
211 ebl Implement the include JobID in spool file name project.
212 kes Reorder projects file in order determined by Jan 2007 vote.
213 kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
215 kes Fix open of SQLite3 db where user does not have write permission
216 so that DIR does not crash. Fixes bug #761.
218 kes Add back missing @ in Win32 Makefile.
219 kes Change 'Device not configured to autolabel' from INFO
221 kes Fix jobq.c to restart failed jobs when Reschedule Times = 0
222 which should restart an indefinite # of times.
223 kes Fix configure --help to print --with-mysql[=DIR]. Same for
224 other DIR specifications.
226 rn Fix msvc build problems. Fix bacula.dll exports for msvc build.
227 Fix path quoting in SQLite scripts.
228 Fix problems with SHGetFolderPath.
230 kes Create patches/2.0.1-restart.patch. Fixes bug #755.
232 kes Fix Job restart on error bug that promotes an Inc to a Full
233 backup. This should fix bug #755.
234 kes Add qt-console and first cut of code.
238 kes Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
239 instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
240 kes Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
242 kes Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
244 kes Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
245 This *should* fix bug #747.
246 kes Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
249 kes Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
250 and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
251 this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
252 kes Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
253 kes Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
254 SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
256 kes Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
257 despooling as requested by Alan Brown.
259 Version 2.0.0 released: 4 January 2007
